NEW BUSINESS

1. Discussion for future build on the Waterman property The large market

— commercial store is not in the foreseeable future from any national developers, especially not in the rural area. There appears to be a market for residential componenttoday and for some type ofretail. The Waterman property is zoned for apartments and townhouses. Mr. Waterman believes there is a demand for this type ofhousing and attract highway users, such as restaurants as an example like in Easton. This could serve highway traffic and then compliment with apartments

and townhouses. Infrastructure on water and sewer, options come straight across and tie into the outlet, drill a new line. Mr. Waterman provided a description of the pads on the sketch. The 2.5acre site is equivalent to the Wawa acreage.

Possibility ofthe area with 4-5 pads to possibly have food service. Nothing is lined up. Has not marketed this to anyone. No commitments from anyone. The plan is to have the exit for the develpopment to go out on Nesbit Rd. State highway says no light, have to access on 50 but prefer access to get westbound access on 50. The road planthat Mr. Waterman is planning is identical to the state highway plan. Much discussion on thoughts ofthe possibiJities for partial

commercial with apartments over head. Planning Committee members that were in attendance are in favor ofthe mixed use residential/commercial concept presented and would support this type ofapproach for the westportion ofthe property and look forward to reviewing a more detailed concept once one is available.
